Gore Pushes for Private Investment in Space
dptalia writes "Al Gore said in a recent speech that more private enterprises need to invest in space. Gore pointed to the successful growth of the internet as proof that private investment is faster than government. Not surprisingly, Gore also lambasted President Bush's space policy."
Considering that it has been basically the same republican congress that we have had over the last 6 years, but with a different whitehouse, is a joke. The reality is that Clinton cut the same deal with Greenspan that greenspan had with bush (I will lower the interest rate if you lower the deficit). Clinton, like poppa bush, complied and paid attention to gov. deficits.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
This is old news. NASA Adminstrator Mike Griffin is using half a billion dollars to invest in private industry to spark this. Al Gore is just trying to stay in the headline. But with Al Gore pushing this, next thing we know, he is going to claim to have "invented" private access to space the same way he "invented" the internet.
What is he now? A washed up ex-vice president? Sorry, but his "wisdom" isn't any more impressive than his speaking style.

At least he doesn't claim to use maps from 'the google' on the 'internets'.
